Abstract: Efficiency and accuracy play an important role in numerical simulation for ball bearings dynamics. In this work, three kinds of contact models are developed in vector form to represent the interactions in ball/raceway, ...

Abstract: Wear is one of the major causes that affect the performance and reliability of tribo-systems. To mitigate its adverse effects, it is necessary to monitor the wear progress so that preventive maintenance can be timely ...

Abstract: Abstract. The variable stator vane (VSV) is a specialized component in aerospace engines, and unclear wear mechanisms in its internal shaft–bushing system could potentially jeopardize flight safety. To explore the tribological ...

Abstract: The combination of heat transport and heat-work conversion processes in thermal systems highlights the importance of the integrated modeling and optimization method. Following the analogy between power flow and heat transfer, ...
